Stereo width, EQ & Compression in Eurorack // LEQA Levelling EQ Amplifier from 4ms

DivKid Guide 11 days ago

Description

Join us for a dive into EQ, compression and stereo image creation and control with the 4ms LEQA, Levelling EQ Amplifier. Not only is this a demo of this specific module but a deeper look across many musical styles at how these tools work, why you might want or need them and how they sit within a Eurorack modular environment. I hope it highlights these production tools not just as an end of chain bit of a colour but as a creative important tool for music making and sound shaping while highlighting how to listen to what they do.
